I wrote a patch to add editable cells to the tree-view widgets. It

Wow, you have been busy. Congrats on pulling this off.
Thanks :-) Your suggestions definitely got me on the right track there.
The hairy part in the end was to get the hooks into the right places so
that gtk is called at the right moment. It turned out :default-initargs
is the best place to construct gtk objects, and the latter part of an
:around method for not-to-be is where it should be destroyed.
I did quite a bit of stress testing (the threading part helps here, I can
just run a few loops from the repl, consing family trees together and
ripping them apart and watch gtk trying to catch up), and could not manage
to break it.
This makes me wonder once more what GUI toolkits people really use. Since
it's so easy, does everyone just roll their own (like you, for that
matter)? Or is there some good standard library out there that I have
missed in my search? Or do Franz and Allegro offer superior toolkits with
their products? Or is it just that most people use lisp for stuff that
does not require GUIs (i.e. (academic) command line tools/web apps)?
Maybe I'll kick off another one of these threads on cll (the last one is
almost two years old, I think).
Anyway, Happy Holidays everyone,
Peter
